Our Program Hosts at KZSM.org will celebrate the holiday with special programming that expresses the range of their imaginations and their connection to our community.
On Friday, Dec. 25, 8-10 p.m., host Carole Coburn of “Friday Night with Care” will feature original songs by all Hill Country artists, including Alex Winters, David Touchton, Heather Bishop, Lindsay Foote, Nathan Fox-Helser, Shawnee Kilgore, and Scott Collins. Most of these performers have composed original Christmas songs just for Coburn’s show— you won’t hear this music anywhere else! In addition, each artist shares their most fond Christmas memory as a lead-in to their song. The second hour of the show will feature traditional Christmas songs, a special recording of “Away in a Manger,” a message from the Nashville artist who recorded it, and Coburn’s own heartfelt holiday message for her listeners.
On Thursday, Dec. 24, 3-5 p.m., host Paul Wilson of “Philosophy and Popular Music,” will play the music of his band The Elftones, a group that has entertained in past years at The Sights and Sounds of Christmas. The second hour of the show will re-broadcast an interview Wilson and cohost Steve Jones did with songwriter Randy Brooks, who wrote the holiday hit “Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer.”
